But when he came back, he did not have any of the high spirits he had when he went out to the battle.
General Lin may be conceited and vicious, but he is certainly not stupid.
On the way back, he had already thought clearly that he had brought 3,000 soldiers and horses but none of them returned, which could be considered a great defeat. How would the emperor treat him, how would the court officials criticize him, and even how would the people look down on him.
General Lin has thought it through clearly.
But he still chose to struggle back. All his glory and wealth were here. All his relatives and base camp, as well as the chance of a turnaround in the future, were only in the imperial capital.
What's more, Yunniang is pregnant with his own son.
He couldn't let his son bear the reputation of being a father's undoing before he was born. Even if he had to crawl back, he would crawl back and earn some property for his son.

Emperors are naturally suspicious.
"It's a pity that my three thousand men fought for the country until their death, but they died at the hands of this traitor. I really don't know how I will face these brothers in my grave. Your Majesty, please make a decision for us..."
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Anyway, the soldiers are already dead and can't speak.
As Wuyou Palace is the largest intelligence agency in the country, the emperor naturally cooperates with them.
General Lin knelt before the emperor, kowtowed and begged for mercy while crying.
They dare not.
The emperor snorted.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the great name of the Holy Medical Valley? It is said that their medical skills are very good and can even bring the dead back to life. They have the magic of bringing people back to life." General Lin said with a shameless face.
The emperor said disdainfully: "I'm afraid the imperial physician in the palace has also boasted about these things."
Lin Jiuxi and Nangong Jing are still husband and wife. Now that she has occupied two cities in a row, it is clear who she is.
Otherwise, so many incidents would not have occurred.
I am very clear about it in my heart.
"Your Majesty! Please help me." General Lin cried and pushed all the responsibility onto City Lord Mo. "It's all because of that old man Mo Yunkai who degenerates and colludes with that female bandit. Not only did he poison my soldiers' food, he even colluded with her. Not only did he let the female bandit go, he even killed us. That's why we failed."
The emperor's eyes turned cold and he clenched his teeth.
However, the emperor did not truly love his people. He just used these words to warn General Lin not to go too far.
He should have just gone all out and killed Linglong, then all these things that happened later would not have happened.
General Lin did not feel embarrassed by the emperor's accusation. He smiled and said flatteringly: "Although this unfilial daughter will not come back for me, I know how to call her back."
The emperor thought with some resentment that he should not have let the person go so easily. Even if someone from Linglong Pavilion came, what would happen?
"It's not easy to catch them!" The emperor was not stupid, so he naturally wanted to catch them.
"Even so, you still have to be punished for your defeat on the battlefield!" said the emperor with a dignified face.
Mo Yunkai might lie to him, but there was no need for Wuyou Palace to speak for Mo Yunkai.
If the two of them join forces, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my throne.
The emperor sneered: "So what if you are her father? You don't think she will come back for a heartless father like you, do you?"
General Lin felt a chill in his heart and kowtowed quickly, with blood all over his forehead.
He is the king of a country, the ruler of a country, but he still has to be controlled by a gangster organization, which is really ridiculous.
In fact, Mo Yunkai and Lin Jiuxi did collude, and he wanted to turn back, but he heard the soldiers shouting that the city lord had closed the door.
General Lin is indeed a sophisticated and shameless man. Even if he was told this, he could still find excuses for himself.
The emperor picked up the memorial at hand and smashed it on General Lin's head.
After all, the emperor also has to consider public opinion.
General Lin didn't care whether the emperor believed it or not, and he stuck to his excuse, saying that Mo Yunkai and Lin Jiuxi were in collusion.
The emperor must understand that he has irreplaceable advantages.
"Lin Weiyuan, you still have the nerve to cry? Do you really think I don't know what good things you have done in Jizhou City? You raped women in broad daylight, oppressed women and children, and even violently robbed people." The emperor said angrily: "Lin Weiyuan, tell me, is this serving the country or dying of exhaustion? I asked you to reap the soldiers and bandits and protect the people. But what good things have you done?"
No, the imperial physician in the palace never blew it.
"Your Majesty, this... is just some misunderstanding. It's common for soldiers to spend money to sleep with prostitutes in brothels. It's just that those women, under the order of City Lord Mo, dare not tell the truth. As for violent robbery, that's even more unheard of. We have done a few brave deeds." General Lin gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This is all because of Mo Yunkai, that old man slandering us."
Last time, we finally trapped people in the palace, but people from Linglong Pavilion came out to cause trouble.
General Lin raised his head and looked at the emperor expectantly.
This information did not come entirely from Mo Yunkai, some of it also came from Wuyou Palace.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't do my best. It's because I was framed by the bandits that I suffered such losses. And your majesty, I heard on the way here that Jizhou and Qinzhou cities have been captured by Lin Jiuxi. If they are not caught, I'm afraid it will lead to a disaster." General Lin knew very well that it would not be enough to just beg for mercy, and he had to move the emperor.
What happened that day was such a coincidence. General Lin was fleeing on the road. When he came back, he thought about it carefully and was very sure that the two men were definitely in collusion with each other.
Not only did they not dare to do so, but they were always very modest and tried to speak conservatively, for fear that the emperors would have strange ideas and what if they really asked them to revive the dead and failed to do so and killed the whole family?
Therefore, the imperial physicians in the palace always took a humble approach.
However, no matter how low-key they are, they still receive a lot of praise from the public.
General Lin smiled. His head was covered in blood, and the smile looked even more terrifying.
"There is a man in this Holy Medical Valley named Bai Hengqiu. It is said that he is the one who masters the secret technique of growing flesh from bones. Since Lin Jiuxi loves Prince Duan so much, then for the sake of Prince Duan's health, she will never allow anything to happen to Bai Hengqiu. So she will definitely come." General Lin smiled confidently.
